Since its India launch in 2008, the Yamaha YZF R15 has gained a lot of success. The primary reason for this is it’s superbike like looks, the powerful 150cc engine and the of course the high refinement levels that Yamaha is known for. The YZF R15 got a makeover in 2011 in the form of the R15 Version 2.0 which was surrounded by a lot of excitement due to its even more sharper looks. Just when the R15 has started to age again, Yamaha plans to launch a newer version of the R15- the Yamaha R15 V3.0 which is scheduled to be launched in 2017. Yamaha has put its best foot forward to make the new model even more powerful and better looking.

Yamaha R15 V 3.0 Design

Quite obviously the Yamaha R15 V3.0 will look a lot sportier and bigger than its predecessor V2.0 primarily due to USD forks and new body panels. Some panels can be derived from the M-Slaz . The most attractive feature would be the LED headlamps along with the sporty decals. There would also be new color option. The digital speedometer console would add to the design of the Yamaha R15 V3.0. The Yamaha R15 V2.o had a poor seating comfort as reported by many riders and pillions. Yamaha has plans to improve greatly on this front. The design could also have touches from the YZF R6 and YZF R125 .
